Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel safe, welcoming, and supportive. My style is soft, caring, and down-to-earth, but I am also honest and direct when needed. I will gently challenge you to consider new perspectives while making sure you feel heard and respected. Together, we will work at a pace that is meaningful and progressive for you.

Hello! I have an BA in psychology from IU and a MEd. in counseling psychology from the U of L. I serve a diverse population. I work with all ages regarding many different concerns. I practice trauma informed care. I approach every client with dignity and respect. I am easy to talk to and work to create a safe, non-judging environment. I meet clients where they are at and work at a pace that is comfortable for them. I believe that a good working relationship is essential for a successful outcome.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC) with more than 30 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life challenges. I earned both my bachelor's degree in psychology and master's degree in counseling from Indiana State University.

Throughout my career, I have provided individual, family, and group therapy in a variety of behavioral health settings and have spent over 26 years with Centerstone

in both clinical and leadership roles. My experience spans outpatient therapy with a variety of focus areas, crisis intervention, suicide prevention, substance use treatment, family therapy, and community-based behavioral healthcare.

My treatment approach incorporates person-centered, evidence-based practices including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma-Informed Care. I have extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, Grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, substance use disorders, grief, suicidal thoughts, and emotional distress.

Personally, I believe healing happens through meaningful relationships. I am passionate about helping people discover their strengths, build resilience, and

develop practical skills that lead to lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and

empowered to achieve their goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D. in Sociology, bridging clinical practice and research. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, life transitions, racial/ethnic identity and relational challenges, and burnout, with a focus on college students, young adults, Black women, and other people of color. Using a relational approach to therapy, I strive to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to embrace your authentic self. My goal is to help you move through your experiences with clarity and a deeper connection to who you truly are.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience primarily working with families, teenagers, women's issues, medical and behavioral health focused as well as crisis support. I am also a dog lover, a concert goer and enjoy silly-goose humor. I'm here to offer guidance and support from my training and years of experience. I have many years of experience in medical settings (NICU, PICU, child and adult ER) as well as Behavioral Health (SMI and EAP). You are the expert of your life and I want to see you live it to the max.

I believe that therapy is a space that belongs to you and is nurtured by your therapist for you. Through this healing environment, I give you the tools to change self-defeating behaviors.

If anxiety, depression, trauma or difficult family circumstances are making life feel heavier, you do not have to navigate them alone. Whether you are a teen, adult, parent, or family, therapy can offer a supportive place to feel heard, understand what is happening, and begin moving forward. Together, we can build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

As a board certified psychotherapist I have seen firsthand the importance of our mental health and the powerful effects that it can have on our lives. Seeking help can be difficult. I applaud you on the taking the first step in making a lasting change in your life! I am of Christian faith. I have been practicing in a variety of different social work related fields for the last 20 years, most recently focusing on anxiety, depression, and past trauma.
